After almost a Fortnight of keeping vigil on the dead body of TPM Chief, the body is being buried today. In the process, God exposed their twisted doctrine of Divine Healing for all to see. Let us see which part of their doctrine has been nullified by this event.
To Repatriate a dead body from the UK to India, we will need to have an embalming certificate as part of the procedure. The minimum criteria for such a transportation would be as follows.
1 PNR number of booking for the passenger with whom the dead body will be booked as cargo.
2 Death Certificate from a Doctor.
3 Police Clearance.
4 Embalming Certificate.
5 Coffin Certificate.
Table of Contents
It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that N. Stephen’s body has been embalmed before repatriating to India.
How is Embalming done?
The following is a minimum procedure for Embalming – thanatopraxis
-
Throughout washing to achieve complete external asepsis of the body.
-
An incision in the middle of the Clavicula.
Injection of a formaldehyde solution in the carotid artery and simultaneous evacuation of blood through the jugular vein.
Other access or evacuation points may be selected by the technician.
-
Elimination of liquids and gas through an incision near the navel.
Injection of concentrated formaldehyde. -
The closing of the incisions.
-
External washing of the remains, asepsis of orifices (mouth, nose, ears…).
-
A sample bottle of the liquid used is attached to the ankle.
End of the intervention with clothing, makeup and hairdressing.
This same procedure for Embalming would have been done on the previous TPM Chief, Wesley Peter.
What Does TPM Doctrine teach about the entry of Medicines/Chemicals into the Body?
Below is a photo of the July 1983 Voice of Pentecost.
Text Quoted for clarity. Please consider the underlined texts before you finish.
In closing, we would like to mention an important point. The body, to be redeemed at the coming of the Lord, must be preserved blameless unto His coming. It is God who sanctifies and preserves the body by His power (I Thess.5:23). If man-made medicine is used to heal the body from devil-made sickness, then it is the man who is preserving his body through his own wisdom and power. To be caught up to an inheritance which is incorruptible and undefiled, we must be kept, not by our own power, but by the power of God, through faith in Him. We then become wholly God’s, and all glory goes to Him in our complete redemption. This is why this excellent power is given to us in earthen vessels (II Cor.4:7). When the power of God comes into us, other powers, like the power of men, the power of self, the power of self-righteousness must go. God is able to do much more than the pitiful effort we can make on our own, and He is even able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think when His glorious power works in us (Eph.3:20). We are to be kept by this power of God through faith. This means faith and trust in Him and Him alone, assured of His faithfulness and His presence in all our trials. It does not mean faith in medical analysis and diagnoses, faith in medical counsel and aid, for all these are the powers of men.
It is through a living faith in the power of divine healing that not only our spirit and soul but also our body can be preserved and presented undefiled and faultless before Him when He comes in the air for those who are fully His. We are not of this world, and we will soon be taken out of this world to meet our Lord in the air if we are not conformed to this world and its ways of doing things.”
The Verse quoted by TPM for twisting is as follows
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess 5:23
The HUMAN BEING is comprised of Spirit, Soul and Body. When a person dies, his Spirit and Soul leave the Body. The Body which the Lord has promised to preserve is left behind.
We all know that one of the consecration in TPM is to consider Medicines as a defiling thing which disqualifies you from the rapture. The Moment you have medicines into your body, you are dropped from the Rapture. As we know that the Rapture has not yet taken place, Stephen N is disqualified by the defilement of his body(as per TPM Doctrine). His Organization and co-workers thought it best to defile his body to bring it to India rather than burying him in the UK to preserve it from defilement. Even though TPM Pastors may scream that One More stone added to Zion, their Doctrine condemns Stephen to Hell. Why Hell? Because TPM Doctrine also teaches that if you lose the Zion Consecration, you will be cast into Hell and not a lower grade, as per TPM.
This same concept is espoused by Teju in one of his sermons. Check out the audio on this page after 14:53 mins. It saddens me that educated people like Teju is brainwashed to this extent.
Based on the above text from the Voice of Pentecost and their twisted interpretation of Preserving the Body, it is an inescapable fact that it is not God who is preserving the Body but Man preserving the body by the powers of men. Note the underlined portion of the Orange text above.
What does the Bible Say?
This evil doctrine of TPM’s divine healing has claimed many lives in the middle of the lifespan. This doctrine is Putting the Lord to Test. As mentioned earlier, its high time that TPM Clergy understood that they cannot manipulate God.
Be not deceived; God has not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal 6:7
Our God Surely heals us of our Diseases. But please do not expect God to lift you up and take you to the next floor when he has provided you with stairs and a good pair of legs. Manipulating God to lift you up to the next floor will be dealt severely and that is why so many of TPM Clergy are cut off midway.
As far as medicine defiling the body is concerned, let us check back with Jesus’s statement.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Matt 15:11
Jesus clearly says that Medicines or chemicals are not what defiles a person but the content of his heart.
As far as I know, there is only one way to defile the body and that is through sexual immorality.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor 6:18
Conclusion
Dear TPM Clergy and Believers,
Stop your manipulation Game with God. You are playing with your own lives for a cultic doctrine. God does not need your help to preserve your body blameless. Thousands of martyrs have been burned, killed and bodies destroyed by various means. Their Bodies will rise up when the Lord comes back. We need not know the “HOW”. Leave it to him. The Holiness that God expects out of you is an outcome of the Loving relationship with him. It’s not because of your works and all kinds of acrobatics taught by TPM clergy.
Recently I have come to know from a Bangalore believer that if you don’t wear the white dress at least once a week you won’t be raptured. These kinds of evil Doctrines will keep pouring in as you continue in these last days.
Consider a wife asking her husband for the reason of his Love for her. Now assume that the husband replies and says that he loves her because of her culinary skills. If I was the wife, I would be offended to know his love is not for me as a person but for the cooking I do. Same is the case with TPM Clergy and Believers. They think God is mean like them to love them for their dresses and weird cultic practices that they follow.
If you are really Serious with your Spirituality, you should be on your way out from this mess.
TPM time and again exposes their false gospel. In TPM, it is your own works that causes your salvation. God is there to merely give you a push and from there TPM has a list of Do’s and Dont’s which you have to follow to be able to enter heaven. TPM has merely replaced the list of rules from the RCC. The core message is the same…”you have been saved by your works” as opposed to the biblical “by grace through faith, not of your works”.
OmG! Chief Pastors will be Left Behind ! Both Wesely and Stephen… ! But people reported they entered glory ! Confusing !!
Dear Admin,
I am not supporting TPM but you see medicine has entered into Pas. Stephen’s body only after his death. This doesn’t defile the body as per the TPM’s doctrine. I also initially thought like you but after the death, his body is just a flesh and any man can inject anything into his body without his permission. It makes sense right?
Brother,
What we are exposing is the deviant doctrine of TPM in which they have twisted the plain scriptures. Therefore, we will have to take it in the same pattern.
Did you read the Verse quoted to support this doctrine?
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess 5:23
Can you find the part of the text where it is underlined in bold?
Per the verse, The Preservation is not ending at death(Even the second sentence and the last para of the VOP Text confirms it). So If the preservation of the Body (Not the Spirit or Soul) is done by our own work of NOT TAKING MEDICINE, it needs to be applied as long as the Body exists. By Death, the Body does not cease to exist. It just decomposes because of the lack of life in it. The above is the actual interpretation believed and practised by TPM Pastors of yesteryears. Unfortunately for them, they could not envisage a situation of such embalming of one of them, then. There are instances where injecting of such preservatives were forbidden in TPM for this doctrine. Now they are ignoring their own interpretation because they are in a corner.
We at fromtpm.com do not believe that the body is defiled by Medicine or any other substances while living or dead. The Bible never talks of Medicinal defilement as taught by TPM.
What is the diff. between soul and spirit?
To separate both the terms are tough. This same is mentioned in Heb 4:12
We will not be able to separate them within us but we can differentiate the faculties of both of them. For eg, Our Conscience is from the Spirit and also Intuition but our Emotions and Reasonings are from the Soul. The Dichotomy is seen clearly when we do something wrong and our Conscience disagrees with our action. But at the same time, our Soulish logic tries to make excuse for our actions by diminishing the effects and giving reasons.
One instance which you can relate and that happened yesterday is the words of TPM Chief in which he tried to show that Jesus is the Chief Shepherd even before. Do you know why he had to put up that statement? Its because he knew that the Title of CHIEF PASTOR was usurping Jesus and he could not reconcile that with his conscience. But somehow, his soulish realm could not accept the fact that some “nobody” of fromtpm.com had called him and his organization out on that. So rather than acknowledging and correcting the usurping designation, he tried to bury the matter and justify with a twist. A real spiritual person can never do that which is offending the Conscience. Check the last section of this article. https://www.fromtpm.com/doctrinal-problems-the-tpm-chief-pastor/

@admin…excellent explanation. Thanks for that.
Do you think it’s right to follow Saul/ Paul?
Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 Cor 11:11
Unless you think Paul is deviating from Jesus, there is no issue.
To Admin:
Your answer is vague and just quoting from the bible (which many do by saying it is ‘Word of God’ and you cannot refute it)! This is another way of stopping the other person from questioning further. Worst part is he (Paul) is testifying about himself in 1 Corinthians 11:11.
All the while Saul persecutes Christians and then suddenly one day he transforms (God meets him and blah … blah …); What about the people who were persecuted by him before his transformation?
There would have been many, who got killed, brutalised, publicly shamed/ lynched, stoned, raped, ostracised etc!! The day he transforms, he becomes a saint and people start following him (even his name changes from SAUL to PAUL)? What kind of judgement is this?
And what about the people who got persecuted? Who will judge/ reward them for what they went through and their martyrdom? There is no mention of this in Bible.
Also, fear for life is the greatest fear! If it comes to your life (your survival), all your faith life, principles, will go kaput! So many people would have left their homes, cities, changed their religious practices, got converted etc. to keep themselves and their family safe from Saul and his henchmen.
Suddenly one day, he becomes a Saint, starts preaching, praying, performing miracles, writing mails/ epistles to different churches, inspires them about faith life, re-invigorates their reverence to God etc.; and his ‘After life’ (so called ministry) is explained in great detail in Bible. This is like glorifying the cow vigilantes and Romeo Squad in today’s India.
Question – Where is the judgement here (both for Saul and the afflicted)? Saul becomes a glorified saint and the people (who suffered in his hands) would have further suffered in silence and went into obscurity. Imagine how those people would have felt when Saul would have vociferously preached (pun intended) about Jesus Christ?
Oh, So the Snake has started lifting his hood after coming in with a seemingly innocent question. I suggest you move on to other forums which discuss this issue. If my answer is vague, it is vague only to the ones to whom it is hidden and it is purposeful.
so that,
“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[a]” Mark 4:12
If we go by Mr.X, we should not be trusting any of the convicted criminals of this world, even if they have gone a change – be it sudden or for a longer period of time. We should not even put any criminals to imprisonment. ‘Just kill em’ all, cause we can’t trust em’.
Let us all follow Mr.X who seems to know all things. Typical agnostic strawman arguments here.
Mr X,
We know of a someone who is all knowing, and through His Word, we are enriched each moment. And just as I was in your position, You also can become a saint or continue being a sinner.
We use verses – the word of God, that is our epistemology. Where does yours come from? Why should we listen to you, who does not know all things or does not know/believe in someone who knows all things? You see the problem for you is, you want an excuse to continue whatever you are doing, and with God existing, you are unable to do it without being punished for it.
For everything you do or what Paul did has consequences. All actions have consequences, but the sins (crimes against God) are forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ, should you believe in Him genuinely.
The same forgiveness awaits you as well, you can get to become an ex-criminal, you who deserves punishment for all of your evil thoughts, words and deeds. So start following Jesus Christ with a clean record. A clean record does not mean you can undo the consequences of what you have wrought upon others. No time-travel here.
The hypocrisy in your question. You want justice when you do not believe in One. Justice can exist only if a righteous judge exist. Let us see how you can lead your life with your standard of knowing right and wrong, let alone to ask you to be the judge of this world. You will kaput us to chaos with a few moments of that immense power with your standard of right and wrong.
Mr X, without Jesus Christ, you are a lost cause. Do not expect judgement, if you dont believe in a ‘Justful’ God. Instead of asking the question of where the judgement is for Saul and the afflicted, ask this question to yourself: ‘Where is the judgement that should be laid on me for questioning the Word of God’?,
Should He not strike you now? Well, He is long-suffering as He is, with each one of us, and is waiting that You might leave your stiff-necked ignorance and come to Him and be a Saint.
The answer for your question though:
Paul will be judged based on his thoughts, words and deeds. If he has lived to the inspired word of God, then he is reaping it in paradise. We believe he has. He was on his way to hell just like we used to be, but when the Truth intervened him, he chose not to be criminal anymore. He is justified by God. Not by any of us. If you have a problem with that. Take that to God.
Those who were afflicted (and who are being afflicted) will suffer the consequences brought upon by actions of the criminals, and I am sure paul testified about his past and the change after Christ came in. And so we all have read it, day after day. His testimony is part of the bible for the whole world to read it. Those who die without knowing Christ or as the consequence of criminal acitvities will be judged by two other things – Conscience and the law that is written on our hearts. And those who are killed, if they died as saints, then they have been to be with God. If the criminals died as a sinner, hell awaits them. If they change genuinely, then they can be washed by the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses ‘all’ unrighteousness. Dont think you can kill and ask forgiveness. If someone hits you and said sorry, you may forgive that person, but if that persons repeats the whole thing again and again, you will not forgive him, you wll knock him dead-on right? If you a mortal being can sense that person is not being genuine, can not God, who knows all things, see a mocker from a distance itself?
And what about You? You know intuitely what is right and wrong, you keep perverting the conscience, it will get seared. Your conscience and the law written in your heart, should make you think of a Creator to exist, from all the creation you look around. You who believe in a watchmaker for the watch, should understand that there is One Creator behind the whole creation. If you do not accept this Truth and keep suppressing in unrighteousness, and some criminal kills you in the process, criminal might get saved or not, you will be judged based on the conscience and the law. The verses which you pick itself will judge you back.
For all of this to exist, you need to believe in an authority and that Authority is Jesus Christ. Let the Truth set you free!
Excellent Reply Bro John
@X, you cannot expect a better explanation to your sincere question than what John has provided. You can discard it at your own peril.
This is quality stuff, thanks Brother John.
Body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord – doesn’t that mean our body should not be buried and worms should not eat after cremation. ? I am confused.
The context is not mortality or corruptibility, but BLAMELESS from a SIN Perspective. The Bible says that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Read this in conjunction with 1 Cor 6:13-20
…The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[b] 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[c]
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Whether before death or after death, his body is defiled by use of drugs. Why excuse now?
Who is responsible for allowing his body to be injected with formaldehyde? Isn’t tpm institution responsible? Haven’t they given permission to submit his body to chemicals to be preserved from stinking as they have kept it for 11 days. Where is their faith and big talks about Gods power to preserve his body from decay and stink? All their loud talk about preserving body by power of anointing has been proved empty talk.
Didn’t they tell he died after having filled with anointing ? Where has anointing of chief gone, that they had to rely on drugs to preserve his body from decaying, instead of anointing?
Why double standard ? They show contempt to bury believers who dies in hospital saying body is defiled. They also punish believers from taking communion for 6 months if medicine has entered their bodies. They have rules for punishing parents for allowing their children to be married to non tpm believers. Why does tpm deputive be not then punished for allowing body of chief to be injected with medicines? Where has his faith life vanished? He should not be given communion for six months!!
According to tpm rule anyone who attended the funeral of the man who took medicine shouldnt be given communion and allowed to say testimony.For several months they have to undergo that punishment.All kallanmaar in tpm.
Who knows if this was a natural death.Lol.
Agreed, the person who wrote this story has got it wrong, firstly we don’t know what was done, it is an opinion, if however it is true that the body was embalmed etc the yes, it happened after his death and not by his choice, as long as Pastor Steven was alive, he didn’t use medicine, after he died, whatever happened to his body wasn’t his choice and also it was after death, you have twisted the TPM doctrine with this story
//Agreed, the person who wrote this story has got it wrong, firstly we don’t know what was done,
Yes, you don’t know what was done, we already know it.
//it happened after his death and not by his choice
How come you excommunicate people who are forcefully taken by their dear ones to the hospital? Was not the benefit of choice applicable there?
But above all, the question still remains as to where in the bible we see a statement which says that we will not be transformed if a person consumes medicine. Please show that and don’t run away.
I will try to ask this same question to our local TPM folks and let’s see how they respond to it.
Nice analysis and exposure.
TPM is a devil’s own cult.
The Lord has allowed the highly deceived to either become a member of TPM or RC.
The next levels go to other deceived building churches such as CSI, Salvation army where they do child baptism!
Each pentecostal church has its own doctrines. They keep insisting on payment of tithes, thus forcing their believers to accept old testament as the new covenant’s policy. Thus every pentecostal believer and also the greedy pastors are under old testament curse.
Truly the words of Jesus are getting fulfilled – only a few will make it to Heaven.
I do not know why you say Salvation Army and CSI members are deceived. Mode of baptism is still a debated issue. Both these denominations believe in the justification of sinners based on the merits of Christ alone. Salvation by grace through faith. They are not works based denominations. TPM is a whole different thing.
Divine healing be like the story where a man drowning crying for help from God. Helicopter comes for rescue.. He refuses and says he ll take help only from God waits for God to come in person and dies
Will they abstain from medicine in case they get fractures or some serious injuries?
I think they should expel doctors and nurses from the church if they go strictly by these rules
God can heal and will work in supernatural ways and use it for His glory.. But at the same time has given wisdom to act wisely. Sad to see people brainwashed.. and committing a form of suicide
Now that TPM’s Chief Shepherd has kicked the bucket, we can expect Empty (MT) Thomas to fill the empty space. If this happens, then TPM will truly go to the dogs, he will have a freehand to spread his false teachings and deeper lies. Only God can save the poor TPM believers.
Added an extension to our page https://www.fromtpm.com/doctrinal-problems-the-tpm-chief-pastor/ to expose their continuing of superficiality to wriggle through the situation.
Pas. Ephraim who was in-charge at Doha passed away last week probably due to some aggravated medical condition. Emergency services were summoned I am not sure at which stage but was too late. It will be interesting to know how they will come out of this. In Luke 5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician ; but they that are sick.
His sister too passed away very recently in ministry.
But their so called consecration will mean they have a standard higher than what Jesus expects leading many into untimely deaths.
